Many do, but mostly the ones that hang out with falangs. Thai's seem to like anything that has to do with the western lifestyle. Ever been to Thailand at Christmas? all the stores are decked out with holiday cheer.

It's gonna be the next Walking street.......

Now you're gettin the hang of it!!!

Yeah I remember that trip report but I'll be honest, it sounded like you were trying to write a novel and I didn't believe it then and after reading it again it even sounds more fabricated!

That's some funny shit ......

I wonder which bar is the oldest in town and which bar has had the same owner for the longest length of time? anybody know?

You are correct...Your lady is a step above you! Shows how lucky she is!

So.....Why a 5 baht tip then? makes you look kind of foolish!

Just curious.....What did you wife do for a living before marrying you? if she's Thai I'll bet it was Service related Don't get pissed off at me because you are either cheap or broke!

Your post is correct.....If employee's make zero $$ in tips then the employer is required by State law to pay them the required minimum wage. However....If your wait staff is making nothing in tips you better find some new wait staff!

McDonalds does not fall under the same umbrella as a tipped employee and are paid minimum wage. There is a big difference between Self Serv and being waited on.

FYI......My wait staff average anywhere from $80 to $100 in tips on a 4 hour shift.....That's not a bad living where we live. Rent here for a 3 bedroom house is about $400.00 a month.

5 Baht is an insult and again, I would hope you get the service you're paying for! They are service employee's not your free slave! I would be ashamed to show my face in an establishment where I left a 5 baht tip....Unless the service was very poor! .... If you left me a 5 Baht tip after giving you good service..... I would give it back to you....Seems you need the money far more than I do!

That depends on what State you are in, when we owned a business in California you paid ALL employee's no less than minimum wage. But we now have a restaurant in Missouri and here the law states that tipped employee's are to be paid no less than 50% of the required minimum wage (Right to work State), providing they make at least half of the State wage in tips. Our waitresses get paid $3.63 per hour....as long as they make at least $3.63 per hour in tips (which they always do). Tips are earned and not a given, if you get good service the tips will always be there....Bad service, then no tip is e

This post is gonna get moved. I can hear the mods walking the halls as we speak!

I like them Jap girls as well....Just wish they would at least trim that bush!!!.......

A two foot tall midget wearing a clown nose and sucking off a live donkey!......But then again I ain't normal

Good job Dale.....Keep it up and I'll see ya next time I'm in town!

I'll give you 300k baht sight unseen!........Seeing as to how I can't see it!

Then he might be better off asking on a web site that is written in Thai.

Is it up for sale again or is that an old photo?

Tip for you dale, before you photograph hamburger buns or any other bread try brushing them over with a little olive oil, will make your food look really nice. Good luck with your venture and I hope you got your problems ironed out

Maybe he needs to borrow a few hundred baht.....

I used to snort coke......but the bubbles about killed me!!

Excellent trip report...Now when you get back home make sure you give us all the details....By the way....details get posted in the The Market section of the board!
